Disgusted.

Concerns Grow Over Dire Conditions in Immigrant Detention IMO, conditions are unsafe and inhumane by design. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/u...

Have you seen this clip of a young LA woman shot in the belly trying to pass by trump’s hired henchmen to get to her apartment? WTF? www.facebook.com/share/v/14Gt...

Why shouldn’t we expect the Project 2025’ers to turn hard against BlueSky?

No hate crime?? Who says so? …Would that be the same SAPD that officially greeted trump at his plane a few years back wearing their uniforms AND their MAGA hats? Where’s the evidence that Joss’s murder was not a hate crime? Plenty of evidence says it was. See comments.

According to my housekeeper… ICE shoved a hard-working father of two into a truck with a dozen others yesterday, drove from San Antonio to Nuevo Laredo, and ditched them. No phone call. No rights. No recourse. NO DUE PROCESS. All in less than 24 hours. CRUEL. ILLEGAL. UNACCEPTABLE.

The Texas House passed a bill allowing any fool to carry his concealed gun into the polls with NO license or training required. “It’s already hard enough in divisive times to work the polls. Adding guns to the mixture is absurd.” - Texas election worker www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is an alarming read, but necessary to understand. “I do not relish describing this chain of events. But the only way to cut the chain it is to see the links.” - Dr. Timothy Snyder (History Prof at Yale, author of “On Tyranny,” among other books) open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

“If you know someone who received a DHS letter ordering them to "self-deport" ask them to contact me. I would like to tell their story.” - David Martin Davies Texas Public Radio @texasnewsdude.bsky.social

@vanhollen.senate.gov’s visit to EL Salvador might serve as a wakeup call for other elected Dems. The whole world still respects the influence of our representatives, despite MAGA. They can, and should, explore and utilize their powers on our behalf.

The courts demanded that trump provide daily details about HIS efforts to return Abrego to the US. Trump’s reduced all those daily details into a single line. The corrupt leader of El Salvador will decide Abrego’s fate. Does feigning helplessness constitute contempt of court? 🙏 ⚖️ 🙏

April 5th, we flood the streets in protest! Here’s where and when. C U There!! 🙌🇺🇸 www.mobilize.us/handsoff/?ut...

Before you take a stand…Know what to expect next, why they do things the way they do, and how best to respond. Historian Timothy Snyder provides the guidelines you need. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

In case you can use a bit of sweetness right about now…

Republicans are attacking Texas schools and it’s always about control. “South San Antonio Independent School District is switching to a controversial, Bible-infused curriculum next year — but not before setting up a committee to vet the learning materials for "inappropriate" content.”

Texas is a hotbed of Republican cruelty! This time, it’s Catholic Charities that’s hit. Who’s next? “The funding losses puts refugee housing at risk, with some families facing eviction without rent and food assistance.” (Link in comments)

Seems like reasonable advice. What do you think will work best?

Texans would be in violation if they make “a false or misleading” verbal or written statement to their employer or a governmental body that identifies themselves as the opposite gender from their gender at birth. The punishment? Up to 2 years in state jail with a possible fine of up to $10,000. 🤬

Ouch — Ukraine is really being asked to grovel for a peace treaty. The miserable set of proposed concessions still isn’t enough for Putin and trump? Disgraceful!!

Greg Abbott calls his voucher scam “school choice.” But we already have school choice—neighborhood schools, charters, magnets, academies & more. Vouchers don’t give us choice. Vouchers give our tax dollars to unaccountable private schools that can discriminate against our kids.

Are you still on Facebook? I’m getting more trolls on FB than ever before, including personal acquaintances who were never so obnoxious before, but now…🤬👎

This lawsuit goes right to the core of our problem and they’re going to win too!

My husband is a writer and classic Hollywood film historian. He just published this article showing the impact of misogyny in early Hollywood on Claudette Colbert’s career.

Fear of unprecedented decisions and their repercussions stalled the initial indictment of trump. Then it was too late. Now we need to be brave and strategic

Are you angry as Hell like me about this?

Amen.

They won’t be able to update our flu shots for next season unless they select the strains first. What is Kennedy planning..?

Yes. It’s racial purges and re-segregation.

We just need a few Republican lawmakers to turn against MAGA and then we’ll have some real power. Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) is an emerging possibility. He rebuked Trump’s vote at the UN today too.

Do you still feel safe flying? I have a feeling that ticket sales and airline profits will soon reflect this newfound insecurity too.

Be sure to follow Joy-Ann Reid. She’s a class act who we should not forsake.

Do you have a tip to share?

I suggest that you follow Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT). His messages are connecting well with the people and he’shelping to guide the resistance.

All descriptions I’ve seen from C-PAC point to a freakish version of ‘The Lord of the Flies’

As America is being torn apart, weakened, and sold to the highest bidder, I think about all the folks who told me, "Well, it won't be THAT bad" and "We survived 4 years of Trump..." and "The systems will hold." All of them are privileged and well-off. Alas. We're all in it now.

Damn. It looks like Schiff has risen to the top of the Patel’s enemy list. Schiff presented a forceful, courageous voice against Patel’s confirmation. We owe him protection and respect.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

Dang. Voters really screwed up. 😭

I’ve suggested before that you follow prominent attorney Marc Elias and his newsletter ‘Democracy Docket’. Now Musk has attacked Marc directly on X. Click on the Democracy Docket link below to read Marc’s poignant response to Musk…

ICE used armored vehicle & tear gas to arrest a non-violent immigrant in San Antonio. 🤬 The MAGA regime set aside $400 million dollars of our tax money to buy many more “armored electric vehicles.” Wanna bet that they won’t be Teslas? …me neither.

Trump’s tweet on X sounds like his rationale for inciting a constitutional crisis. …Think ahead.

On X, Musk reposted what he claimed were the rules that dishonest journalists follow in order to spread their lies. But the list actually looks like Musk’s own playbook for being a liar…

When it’s your time to make a personal sacrifice for our country, you won’t find excuses to support MAGA, will you? 💙⚖️💙

Respect. We absolutely cannot support a constitutional crisis in any way. People who make personal and professional sacrifices to uphold the rule of law deserve our respect.

It is not helpful to blame Dems for MAGA advances. In fact, it hurts the resistance. With MAGA control over the House, the Senate, POTUS and SCOTUS, Dems are fighting hard against all odds. Support their efforts and donate to organizations with legal muscles.

Musk hired a talented 19 year old computer hacker with a history of corruption to rifle through our personal data. #birdsofafeather

Do you remember when trump tweeted this video back in 2019? Apparently, trump hasn’t forgotten. He’s been mentioning plans for that unconstitutional third term a lot lately…

Will trump abide by court orders going forward or is he expecting that he can just do whatever the Hell he wants, because all important federal cases will ultimately be decided in his favor by his MAGA-loving, immunity-giving SCOTUS?
